Exponents Are Often Used in
Area Problems to Show the
Feet Are Squared
Length x width = area
A pool is a rectangle
Length = 30 ft.Width = 15 ft.Area = 30 x 15 = 450 ft.

Exponents Are Often Used in
Volume Problems to Show the
Centimeters Are Cubed
Length x width x height = volume
A box is a rectangleLength = 10 cm.
Width = 10 cm.Height = 20 cm.Volume = 20 x 10 x 10 = 2,000 cm.
